IF A SITUATION OUTSIDE YOURSELF IS MAKING YOU UNHAPPY, TRY AWAKENING TO THE IDEA OF NONDUALITY, WHICH MEANS THAT NOTHING CAN HAPPEN TO YOU BUT YOURSELF.
ONCE YOU PERCEIVE THAT NOTHING HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU BUT YOURSELF, YOU WILL DISCOVER THE SELF AND BE INCREDIBLY SURPRISED AND HAPPY.
SELF-DISCOVERY HAS ACTUAL UNLIMITED POWER. IT REALLY DOES. YOU ARE IN FOR ONE WONDERFUL SHOCK ABOUT ALL THIS.
~ Absolute Oracle
The sky abides
yet it never rests.
Neither can we say that
the sky is not always at rest.
We talk about the sky
as if it were something
as if it actually exists –
and yet we cannot say that
the sky does not exist.
The sky is nothing but
coming and going.
Indeed there is nowhere
to rest your head
and there is nothing but rest.
So let go of all ideas
about permanence and impermanence
about cause and effect
and about no cause and no effect.
All such notions are dualistic concepts.
The Truth of what you are
is completely beyond all duality
and all notions of non-duality,
and yet it includes duality
and non-duality alike.
Like an ocean
that is both waves and stillness
and yet un-definable
as waves or stillness.
Rest and Be Taken
Rest and Be Taken
~ Adyashanti
Generally just Being. Nothing in particular, no claims to fame. I like gardening and the sea, nature, art in all forms from poetry to films and everything in between, and being in the company of my family.
